How can a gene mutation be present throughout the body yet cause cancer only in certain tissues? This is exactly the challenge our SPECIFICANCER team took on 7 years ago. Read the newly published impact report from the team that reshaped our understanding of tissue specificity

What’s true in #PancreaticCancer precursor lesions is also true in #ColorectalCancer precursor lesions. @cncurtis @SnyderShot @StanfordMed demonstrate polyclonal origin of adenomas in patients with FAP. Cancer as a manifestation of convergent evolution! https://t.co/Bnqko2Z2Y8

Groundbreaking work just came today from @owen_sansom Lab, spearheaded by Mark White and exceptionally talented team @CRUKScotland & @UoFGlasgow The work unmasked MAPK-driven Colorectal Cancer's clever escape from therapy. Yes Always search for the WNT. https://t.co/MjJErUh8Yz

Paneth-like transition drives resistance to dual targeting of KRAS & EGFR in CRC ✅CRC cells surviving combined KRAS & EGFR inhibition acquire Paneth-like state ✅SMAD1-FGFR3 axis triggers Paneth-like plasticity ✅FGFR3 blockade could overcome plasticity-driven drug tolerance
cell.com
Zhang et al. show that CRC cells adopt a Paneth-like state to evade dual KRAS and EGFR inhibition. They identify a SMAD1-FGFR3 axis that drives lineage plasticity and MAPK reactivation, conferring...

📌Inaccurate lymph node clinical staging in early and intermediate-risk rectal cancer @EORTC 🚨19.5% understaged and 62.4% overstaged ✅Seems no survival effect ➡️At least a destressing data when MRI shows 1-3 small lymph nodes that we can not decide whether pathologic or not

Our study is out @ESMO_Open. The largest cohort from Northern African background on BRCA1/2 genetics. So pleased to lead such work that bridges the equity gap in precision oncology.
Genetic testing for BRCA1/2 variants in Northern African women with ovarian and breast cancers: a multicentre study of an under-represented ancestry in @ESMO_Open. Unique BRCA1/2 variation patterns; 45/85 VUS, affecting 60% of pts, were reclassified. https://t.co/KgWJzjQ9vG
